I bought Import version of 1939 WH and watched 3 times in last weekend, really enjoyed it. However, this version does not have menu selection as well as no documentary, etc. except the film itself. The original U.S. version is out of print and too expensive to afford. I wonder when we can have next release with reasonable cost? I appreciate your info. Thanks in advance.
I have no inside information, however, I've noticed that several Wyler films were distributed on DVD in the US by HBO and are now out of print. All of these, except for
Wuthering Heights
, has been subsequently released by MGM. I am sure they have this in the works, perhaps the delay may be any extra featurettes, as this would almost certainly come out as a 2-Disc Collectors Edition. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll see something?

I had tried back in 2000 to order this at A&B Sound ( music store in Canada) I waited about 5 weeks before we got any reply. We were told that the rights are owned by someone in Germany and it would be a matter of up to them to re-release it.
I did not get a name..only that. I know it is not much but all I can contribute. I think the best way to obtain it or get it onto Dvd is do what one of the posters suggestedgoing to TCM and requesting it.
Lets hope something soon! -

This is ridiculous. The first post of this topic was three years ago, and still, no DVD. I saw that one of the early posters mentioned that they were collecting AFI's original top 100, and this was one of only two films that weren't available on DVD. (The other was Duck Soup, which is now out.) HOW IS THIS NOT RELEASED ON DVD YET?

It's now been 7 YEARS since the original poster mentioned this DVD isn't available and guess what? It's STILL not available. I just checked. You can get a copy for $100 or you can get an import.
Why can't this classic have a re-release on DVD? I too would like to see the documentary with Geraldine Fitzgerald.
What are they waiting for? I know LOTS of people who would buy this.
